RAID6 Incremental Backup Monday RD100 and RD200 have identical hardware configurations
All Hyper-V virtual machines are running on the RAID1 OS hard disks
RAID6 Incremental Backup Tuesday RD101 and RD101 are Hyper-V virtual machines running Windows Server 2016 Standard
RAID6 Incremental Backup Wednesday RD101 provides:
Active Directory Domain Controller
RAID6 Incremental Backup Thursday DHCP Services
DNS Services
RD201 is the backup of RD101 and all services must be natively capable of failover or system down-time
is possible to occur
RAID6 Full Backup Friday
RD102 and RD102 are Hyper-V virtual machines running Windows Server 2016 Standard
RD102 and RD201 are nodes in a failover cluster over 20gb/s data lines with a 10gb/s heartbeat running:
File Server
Virtual NAS system (StarWind) of the RAID6 arrays allows maximum failure prevention
Printer Services

Failure Prevention Windows Server 2016 supports failover clustering role support of printers.

Files
Operating System (RAID 1)
The operating system is run on (2) 300gb disks in a RAID1 + (1) hot spare, capable of 1-disk failure + 1 hot spare swap in. Two drives per server must fail before total data loss occurs.
Monthly backups and whenever major changes are made a backup should be made of this disk in order to preserve OS settings.

File Services (RAID 6)

Each system contains (6) 1.8TB disks in RAID6 + (1) hot spare, capable of 2-disk failure + 1 hot spare swap in. In failover clustering this means a total of 7 hard disks must be lost
between servers before complete data loss occurs. Even with 7 hard disk loss this outline covers nightly incremental backups and weekly full backups on a RAID 5 NAS in order to
preserve all business files.

Services
Active Directory Domain Controller, DHCP, and DNS will natively failover so no additional software is necessary. Additional configuration is necessary. These services are not
synchronized so it is possible for users to experience momentary issues with logging in, DHCP addressing, or DNS resolutions.

File Services will not natively failover. Virtual SAN software is necessary to allow for failover clustering of the system. Failover clustering will allow either server to be completely taken
offline at any moment with absolutely zero loss of data or services.
